Watch Resident Evil 4 HD Vs. Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube

The high-definition remake of Gamecube horror classic Resident Evil 4 has finally been released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace. We opted for the Xbox 360 version, a hefty 3.59 GB download.

Well the comparison should be made from the Wii version.But frankly people that have the GC version dont need to buy this upscaled version because the game looks better on GC than on the PS3 and XBOX 360 .By making a crap port ( upscaled ) and not a true remaster HD version the game in the so called fake HD is more prone on showing the player all the low textures, stretch image and enhance the graphic defects of the game.The game just looks better played on the Wii or the GC than on the PS3 and xbox 360 ( I have them all!).Of course if you never played the game or have the fixations for achievements and trophys go ahead and buy it.

I dont think we just watched the same video... Although the textures may not be a great deal better, the detail in the environments, enemies etc is far superior imo.

My main reason for not just dusting off the old ganecube is that lame controller. It's like a an original xbox pad that took a mild stroke...

Raider694656d ago (Edited 4656d ago )

The textures are not better the textures are the same and look worst because they pop out due to the upscaled nature of the game!Have you look to the horrible look of the grass!? The enemies dont look better they a simply have a cleaner look also due to the upscaled nature.Do you even know the difference between upscaled and remaster HD !?Remaster in HD its much more in the lines of the new GOD OF War collections the PS2 version and the PSP or the HALO remaster than this crap shit Capcom is trying to sell calling it HD. Go play the PC version and watch the difference between this upscaled versions on the 360 and PS3 and the PC HD version.

Capcom are so damn lazy & cheap, its a disgrace that they have done this to this game & then have the nerve to ask 20 bucks for it.

Wat they have done is simply up the rez,add some Xbox/PS3 buttons, added some menu options & took about 10 mins to think up the achievements & trophies. It also suffers from audio probs & slowdowns !! its just unforgivable, really Capcom when did you decide to take massive shit on this game ?? prob just to get back at Shinji Makami for leaving !! I am definately passing on CV on Tuesday & anything else from you in the future. Total & utter bollox to you.

Welshy4656d ago

Looks great! I got the PS3 version for £6 before they fixed the error and I'm having a blast :D

My only gripe is that you still have to use the left stick to aim and games just don't do that anymore, very disorientating.

Would have like a platinum trophy too but we cant have it all I guess, for £6 you can't go wrong with a classic like resi 4!

FalconR2894656d ago

What about the annoyance of square being the action button when back on the ps2 it was X? And the worst thing is that you can't map them out. I've died 5 times because of the controls and I haven't died that much since my first ever play through of the game 6 years ago.

Ramas4656d ago

well you can go wrong becouse for me resident evil 4 and 5 were the worste, i do not want it even for free. If thre would be resident evil 1 on HD or resident evil 2 then i would buy it for sure.

oldfriend864656d ago

Graphics aren't everything. The GC/Wii's textures were softened, as opposed to seeing the edges of polygons, like in the new HD versions. Don't be fooled by the sharper visuals, cause the 360/PS3 versions don't offer anything else.

Wii controls > sharper graphics and 10+ trophies.

e-p-ayeaH4656d ago (Edited 4656d ago )

If i want to play RE4 in HD i get the PC version and patch it up.

My PC is pretty weak sauce for nowdays games but good enough for stuff like this.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos96d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts96d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook795d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka95d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka96d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz96d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos95d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1796d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca96d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
